The Biggest Airport In The World

(album: Hank Williams, You Wrote My Life - 1976)

I've never seen so many faces going to so many places at one time
This Dallas Fort Worth Airport is so big it blows this country boy's mind
She said she'd meet me here at eight
We'd have some coffee then get on that morning flight
And hurry to El Paso and marry in old Mexico tonight

I met her in a tavern about a week ago and right away we made the plans
I bought her pretty dresses for the honeymoon down on the Rio Grande
She's a little late for coffee
But there's no need to worry cause I'll find that girl
It's so easy to get lost here in the biggest airport in the world

I guess I've walked ten miles looking for that loving smile that could never lie
Just because she flirts with others
That don't mean that she would never miss this morning flight
Now that big jet plane is leaving
But my heart keeps on believing that she's still my girl
And she's somewhere lost and all alone in the biggest airport in the world
I know she's lost and crying in the biggest airport in the world...
